The current regime has destroyed that roster. At some point someone will have to pay with their job but luckily the bar is so low that they can continue to be inept for a few more years before the masses get their pitchforks out and possibly find someone not completely incompetent to run the organization.

Paul why do you think Buffalo is lousy? Just out of curiosity. I'll give them 6 wins. The 6 factor was discussed in another thread.Posted by Philskiw1

I count first downs in preseason because most coaches want to see their teams make first downs. Remember that I seriously distrust fumbles, interceptions, fourth down offsides by a defense and other huge plays in preseason.

Fitzpatrick took to the field at home against the Washington Redskins two weeks ago. Washington is a terrible team, and Washington's first team got more first downs than Buffalo. Washington went on to look properly awful at Chicago, so I don't think it was Washington.

Fitzpatrick took to the field at Minnesota. Minnesota is not really a .500 team, and Minnesota's first team got more first downs than Buffalo. Minnesota almost broke even at San Francisco in week 1 of preseason, so it might partly be Minnesota being good enough to beat Buffalo.

Maybe Buffalo will get its act together by November. Right now they're showing serious incompetence, and so that's what I would expect to see in week 3 of preseason.

This is the same team that dropped off a massive cliff into the far distance like Wyle E. Coyote last year, finishing a 1-8 plunge with a little dust cloud poof on week 17.

So, why shouldn't I assume that every significant starter on the Buffalo team has quietly snapped an ACL or something, and the team won't get any better in three weeks? Where's the spark of hope?

My preseason numbers have too low a signal to noise ratio, but as of today I give Buffalo 2.8 wins out of a 16 game season. You could argue me up to 4 wins because Buffalo has some hope with their signings, but probably not 6 wins.

Wow. 4 wins for the Bills. Time will tell. Thanks for the explanation.

The pre-season is meaningless, but if you heard anything about the way the Bills played against a comically inept Vikings team you might wonder why Buffalo is holding down that spot most recently vacated by the Houston Texans and long held by the Arizona Cardinals (who flamed out quickly) as everybody's favorite "up-and-comer."
